UGH.... MGMT? Really.... Can anyone prove to me this is not the Jonas brothers in disguise? I was really disappointed with the lineup. I have been to Sasquatch every year, maybe once they show who is playing which days we can make it to one day of shows. Not worth it when the beer and food prices are so ridiculous. I am very glad I didn't purchase the pre-lineup tickets. Summer Meltdown here I come... this guy can get fucked too

I've been checking out MGMT's live show on youtube after hearing from many sources they were terrible live and I've got to say... the lead singer can't sing worth crap. Lord... I'm happy listening to their excellent album but there's no way I'm wasting time watching them live.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BOOK WEEN!?!? HOW DO THEY EVEN STILL GET SHOWS!! Sounds like someone's a little butt-hurt the Pixies didn't show up. Go bite a pillow.

If you think there album is excellent then give em a chance and take in to account they are still a pretty fresh band and it takes time to develop a really solid live sound that shit doesnt happen over night

I found high quality vids and the dude grumbles through every song. He's got no range. I dig the music but why would I waste my time if there's someone else I'd love to see (maybe temper trap).

I had high hopes with some of the initial lineup announcements last night, but I didn't know that they would be (supposedly) the final bill. Pretty much no interest in any of the headliners or subheadliners. Looking at the list, the bands I want to see the most are Minus the Bear, Portugal. The Man, The New Pornographers, The Temper Trap, Passion Pit, Kid Cudi, and City & Color. Vampire Weekend, MMJ, and Pavement all being pretty boring in my opinion. Not a lot of interest in seeing Massive Attack, LCD Soundsystem, Ween, She & Him, Tegan & Sara, The National, The Hold Steady, or Band of Horses.
Overall I'm pretty disappointed, especially considering the rumors for Soundgarden, Pixies, RATM, and the fact that the lineup last year was in comparison, very strong. Bought the presale tickets but also got the insurance so I'll likely get a refund, that is, unless anyone wants to buy them.

I think that the problem a lot of people have/will have with the lineup is that it's not as broad as years past. Last year was strange because NIN and Jane's Addiction played, and that whole lineup seemed a little disjointed to me. I guess the organizers were going for more of a variety in the crowd, but this year it seems so indie/pocketband that it hurts. I don't think they'll have any trouble selling tickets, because to a fan of this type of music this lineup is fantastic. They're just going to sell to that segment rather than the "crushing beer cans on your forehead" crowd.
not a bad thing. Sasquatch never seemed like that type of an event anyway.

I am extremely dissappointed with the line-up this year!!! There are no real headliners. pavement and mmj should at most be the bands that play right before the REAL headliners, maybe even headline the yeti stage. This line-up is the worst ive seen since 2007 when they cut the festival to only 2 days! There are a few bands that kinda want to see but absolutely none that are worth the money for the tickets and camping and the rediculously high prices that they charge for basicaly anything you might buy in the show! i had super high hopes for this year after all the hyping they've been doing for it and i was compltely let down by what they actualy came through with.

glad to be of service. Just as a footnote to that, I almost peed my pants when I saw the lineup and I bought a ticket immediately. I've also been known to play beer darts and do keg stands.
guess i'm an anomaly.

I'm dissapointed with the lack of heavy hitters for headliners, but overall I think it's a great lineup.
I think this year will have a much better chill feel to it which is real cool!

The thread is about hating on the lineup, not hating on one of the best god damn bands to ever enter a recording studio. Show some love for Pixies; they wrote Monkey Gone to Heaven. i think the line-up is overall pretty good. yea, the headliners arent that great but there are alot of great smaller bands. one complaint: public enemy. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Have you listened to Public Enemy? That's not a sarcastic question; I'm just curious if you hate them for their music or because Flavor Flav is involved.

it looks like Lollapalooza is getting Arcade Fire, Soundgarden, AND the Strokes. i wonder if Soundgarden was hopelessly out of the price range for sasquatch or something, because these are actual headliners that i'd consider traveling across the country to see. much better top of the lineup at Lolla, but that's just like, my opinion, man.

This thread is no longer for bitching and is now about The Big Lebowski.
